United Nations: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that Gaza had become “a killing field,”
The UN Secretary General blamef Israel for blocking aid and failing in its “unequivocal obligations” to meet the needs of the Palestinian territory’s residents.
“More than an entire month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza..
No food. No fuel. No medicine. No commercial supplies.
As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened,” Guterres said in remarks to journalists.
Pointing to the Geneva Conventions governing treatment of people in war, he emphasised the obligation of the “occupying power” to ensure the provision of food and medical supplies to the population.
“The Israeli authorities newly proposed ‘authorisation mechanisms’ for aid delivery risk further controlling and callously limiting aid down to the last calorie and grain of flour,” Guterres told reporters at UN headquarters in New York.
